Baby shower...

Here's a few pictures from the baby shower. As you can see my face is soooo puffy, not only had I been crying alot that day, but I am also holding gallons and gallons of water in my body. I haven't really noticed it in my face till I looked at these pictures. The picture of me and my friend next to the present table is my friend Jaylene. She has had 4 miscarriages and her last one was at 24 weeks. Jaylene is 24 weeks right now, and the doctor said he doesn't see any reason why she won't carry this baby to term(!!!) Praise God for that! Jaylene has been very cautious about this pregnancy, but I am glad to see some of that nervousness or wariness dissapearing, and she is getting excited. Today my mom and Shelly (most of you know her, my bf since before birth) came to the house and helped me (meaning made me stay on the couch and watch them) put away all the baby stuff, and wash all the little clothes, and put together a swing, and other stuff. They vaccumed and straightened, and barely let me help at all. My thanks to both of you. I can never thank God enough that I haven't always had a ton of friends, but those that I've had are friends through thick and thin. So...my living room is back to normal, there is a new addition, a little swing for Jakob, and his little carrier waiting for daddy to put in the back of the car. When I take the time to stop and think about how soon he could be here, I almost cannot even believe it. Continue to pray for me. I felt like I had a spike in my blood pressure today, and almost felt like I was gonna pass out. I was here alone, as I encouraged Jeremy to go to his friends house for a while, since he's gonna be here all day tomorrow with me, I won't be doing that anymore. I really need to get a BP cuff for at home. I just need patience to wait till Monday and find out what's going on. Hope you all have a great Sunday! Love, -Me

I am so honored that I made it into the group shot! How awesome is that. And to top it off, it's blurry so you can't actually see how awful I look! LOL

I hope you know I am trying to make silly jokes! Love you
